The Future of Integrity: Enabling Trust and Informed Decision-making through Data, Innovation and Analytics

As FSC evolves to meet today’s complex challenges, the integration of data, analytics, and integrity has become central to safeguarding the credibility of its certification system. This session will explore how FSC is leveraging innovation—through advanced tools, smarter data use, and updated frameworks—to uphold trust and transparency in forest certification. Participants will gain insights into how FSC is enhancing internal data quality, integrating trusted external inputs, and translating these into actionable intelligence. With a strong reputation to protect, FSC is also reinforcing its systems through investigations, stakeholder engagement, and collaboration with ASI and certification bodies. These efforts have led to stronger enforcement, revised requirements, and more transparent operations. This session will highlight how FSC’s data-driven and integrity-focused approach is enabling it to stay ahead of emerging risks, adapt to a rapidly changing world, and continue delivering meaningful impact across global forest landscapes. Join us to see how integrity and innovation intersect at FSC.
